INDIANS RUMORS & GOSSIP
So You Won The Cy Young...Big Deal, the Indians don't care!
The Cleveland Indians have been rather rough this year on reining or former Cy Young award winners, having beaten 7 of them to date. A list of the victims follows. They started the rein of terror in the first game of the season against reining N.L. winner R.A. Dickey now with the Toronto Blue Jays. Dickey, who won the award last year with the Mets allowed 4 runs, 3 earned...

Gomes would finish the afternoon going three for five...

Lindor and Naquin are Fishing for Mudcats
From the Bait Shop:
There’s struggling…
…and then there’s being just plain bad.
The Mudcats were officially bad last week, as they only managed a 1-6 record, dropped to 13 games behind the first place Myrtle Beach Pelicans, were outscored by 13 runs, and had the worst record in the entire Carolina League, by five games.
Some will point to the offense leading the league with...

The Cleveland Indians stand alone at the top of the A.L.Central Division, after 41 games.
They say you judge your baseball teams after 40 games of the regular season. The Cleveland Indians have played 41 games and they have played most of them very well. The team is in first place in the A.L. Central and even the starting pitchers have done better than expected. The Indians won another one run game over the Seattle Mariners yesterday. That makes 2 games they won in the...
Tribe Happenings: Third time the charm with this hot start?
Some news, notes and thoughts from my Indians notebook…
Quarter pole review
The Indians just passed the quarter pole in the season, which is typically the time when the fans and the front office reassess the team. Sitting at 24-17 and winners of 16 of their last 20 games, the Indians are playing well and hitting on all cylinders.
The Indians are ahead of last year’s pace by...
Jason Kipnis puts an exclamation point on the return of Vinnie Pestano last night for the Cleveland Indians.
Good things happened for the Cleveland Indians last night. Ubaldo Jimenez continued to show he is making a comeback to the level of pitching that made the Tribe trade from the big man. He pitched his 3rd game in a row commanding the pitches he threw. Jimenez struck out 9 batters in the 5 innings he pitched.. He only allowed 2 earned runs and one of them was a home run. Each time...
Trend Spotting: The value of Drew Stubbs and a dilemma at third
As an Indians fan watching the team get off to a tremendous start, I find myself spending the majority of my time trying to pick holes in the roster that could eventually be our downfall or equalizing force. Attempting to find players who are so far outplaying their capability that regression both as a player and as a team is inevitable. This is not to say I am not thoroughly enjoying...

CLEVELAND -- Jason Kipnis remembers making noises, but he doesnt know what they were.There were no words coming out, really, he said Friday night. It was just kind of sounds. Gibberish. Just screams.Kipnis had just watched his 10th-inning fly ball sail into the right-field stands to give the Indians a 6-3 win over Seattle. And as the crowd of 34,282 exulted, so did Kipnis.The dugout...

Indians Demote Chisenhall, Call Up David Huff
I speculated about him this morning in the weekend recap, but the Indians have decided not to wait any longer to see if the struggling Lonnie Chisenhall would come around.
With the need for a long reliever during this doubleheader day, the Tribe’s third baseman of the present and the future was sent down to AAA Columbus this morning. Left-hander David Huff was promoted and added...
